Get current logged in user in Remote event receivers

parthasarathy B

I have to get current logged in user in provider hosted app remote event receiver.

I used the below code to get the current user name, but I got current user name as Sharepoint App instead of Current logged in user.

currentUser = clientContext.Web.CurrentUser; clientContext.Load(currentUser, x => x.LoginName, y => y.Id); clientContext.Load(currentUser, Z => Z.Title); clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

How to get the current logged in user?

I want the current logged in user in Process event of remote event receiver.any help will be appreciated , thanks in advance.

I got the current logged in user using properties.ItemEventProperties.UserLoginName in the ProcessOneWayEvent

//This is the sample code
UserCreationInformation userInfo = new UserCreationInformation();
userInfo.Title = properties.ItemEventProperties.UserDisplayName;
userInfo.LoginName = properties.ItemEventProperties.UserLoginName;
User currUser = functionGroup.Users.Add(userInfo);
functionGroup.Users.AddUser(currUser);
functionGroup.Update();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

1. var personProperties;
3. // Ensure that the SP.UserProfiles.js file is loaded before the custom code runs.
4. SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getUserProperties, 'SP.UserProfiles.js');
6. function getUserProperties() {
8. // Replace the placeholder value with the target user's credentials.
9. var targetUser = "domainName\\userName";
11. // Get the current client context and PeopleManager instance.
12. var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
13. var peopleManager = new SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager(clientContext);
15. // Get user properties for the target user.
16. // To get the PersonProperties object for the current user, use the
17. // getMyProperties method.
18. personProperties = peopleManager.getPropertiesFor(targetUser);
20. // Load the PersonProperties object and send the request.
21. clientContext.load(personProperties);
22. clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onRequestSuccess, onRequestFail);
23. }
25. // This function runs if the executeQueryAsync call succeeds.
26. function onRequestSuccess() {
28. // Get a property directly from the PersonProperties object.
29. var messageText = " \\"DisplayName\\" property is "
30. + personProperties.get_displayName();
32. // Get a property from the UserProfileProperties property.
33. messageText += "\\"Department\\" property is "
34. + personProperties.get_userProfileProperties()['Department'];
35. $get("results").innerHTML = messageText;
36. }
38. // This function runs if the executeQueryAsync call fails.
39. function onRequestFail(sender, args) {
40. $get("results").innerHTML = "Error: " + args.get_message();
41. }
